Alliance through the Years

Your membership will help strengthen the voice and the impact of the Alliance in your community, state and across the nation. Alliance membership focuses on the following:

Belong to the family of medicine. Alliance members offer a wealth of opportunities for developing lifelong friendships and building your network. You will experience firsthand a powerful support system to help you face the unique challenges of life in a medical family.

Make a difference in your community. Raise money for scholarships and research, stage public health projects in your community, and advocate for policy change to assure a bright future for medicine. Even if you cannot be active, your membership dues will work to promote good health in your county and state.

Enrich your life. Use Alliance seminars and networking opportunities to build your professional skills in the areas of advocacy, health promotion and leadership.

The NCMS Alliance brings members together to address key issues impacting public health and the future of medicine. The NCMS Alliance also develops and delivers resources that address the unique interests, challenges and concerns of physician families. Your Alliance membership is put to work every day furthering our efforts to implement valuable health education and advocacy programs throughout the year.

What does the Alliance mean to you? For me, the Alliance is best represented by the actions and impact of its members.

Hearing the gratitude in a father’s voice as he described the day his son collapsed and was revived in his high school music department with an AED donated by the local Alliance;

Boosting the success of a child by identifying his need for glasses during the Alliances’ annual vision screening for second and fifth graders;

Seeing the sense of comfort on the face of a broken woman at a battered women’s shelter as she takes refuge in a room newly redecorated by Alliance members;

Empowering promising students in nursing through Alliance scholarships;

Providing a listening ear and meals for members in need – from the young mother new to town to those who’ve have lost a spouse, parent, child or other loved one; and of course

Supporting our physicians and the family of medicine.

This is just a snapshot of our alliance in action. Connecting and supporting us in these efforts is the umbrella of the North Carolina Medical Society Alliance.
